Best wine tour
from start to finish, we had an incredible and memorable experience. Our tour guide JD was super knowledgable and fun so many amazing stories that my husband Hugh definitely loved. He kept us engaged and laughing and answered all of our questions. The wineries were great. We had a beautiful weather tasted some very delicious local wines. Loved exploring the winery grounds. And JD was very me to hospitable and understanding of time management. JD gets a 10 out of 10 if it’s possible to give more than 10 stars, I would. The tour was the perfect amount of time we did not feel rushed, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. Price is definitely worth the experience. It is including the driver and all the tastings at the wineries. We had a group of 16 people, but never felt crowded or rushed.

4 Lancaster Villa Grape Escapes wine tour
This was an exceptional day, Susan, Grape Escapes, was wonderful to work with, she made it so easy to plan and was so accommodating. JD, our guide and driver, was wonderful, he was so knowledgeable and provided commentary and lots of info on the way to Luckett's and Grand Pre. He was full of fun and helped when needed, both with lunch and wine tasting choices. Everyone on our tour were very impressed with the JD, the bus, the venues and the tastings. We were picked up at our building and returned there as well. A great day was enjoyed by all.

Unforgettable Nova Scotia Wine Tour!
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our wine tour with Grape Escapes, and much of that was thanks to our incredible guide, JD!
From the very beginning, JD went above and beyond to make sure our group was happy and comfortable. He was more than happy to accommodate our special requests, even kicking off our morning with a quick stop at Tim Hortons so we could grab our drinks.
His knowledge of the region and the local wine industry was top-notch, keeping us entertained and informed throughout the day. We visited an amazing lineup of vineyards: Benjamin Bridge, Luckett Vineyards, and Grand Pré, each offering incredible scenery and fantastic tastings.
If you are looking for a well-organised, fun, and memorable day exploring local wines, look no further. Ask for JD; he’s a fantastic guide!

Fun Day
This was a fun day at three vineyards sampling wine. The chicken sandwich for lunch was excellent and more than enough. Sandy, our driver, added some history and humor to the trip. I highly recommend this trip.

The tour was great. But what really made the trip was out guide, Terry. Her knowledge of the area and vineyards were second to none. Her personality was charming, sweet, funny and caring. She made us feel special and she was attentive to all our needs and concerns. And we loved her taste in music

Absolutely the best tour ever!
Stephanie was absolutely amazing. Communication before the cruise was exceptional. Her knowledge of not only local wines but wine in general was incredible. She was pleasant and thoughtful. She had water and snacks for you to enjoy and listened and crafter her selection of wineries based on your preferences. I would highly recommend her for a wine tasting or winery tour!
